Gillians Wonderland Pier  in Ocean City NJ

Ocean City, dubbed the number-one family beach community in the U.S., boasts a boardwalk that looks like a 1950s film set. ​It’s home to several small, family-owned amusement parks, with rides and games galore. Gillian’s Wonderland Pier, founded in the 1920s, offers a bunch of little kid–friendly rides—both outdoors and in, so rain doesn’t have to spoil the fun. Outdoor amusements include the Wacky Worm roller coaster and Raiders, a maze filled with tunnels, bridges, and slides; the indoor fun includes a carousel, balloon race, monorail, bouncing frogs, and flying elephants.

 

Playlands Castaway Cove in Ocean City NJ

Located half a mile down the beach from Gillian’s Wonderland Pier is Castaway Cove. It’s in the middle of the boardwalk on 10th Street, just a block away from Manco & Manco Pizza, an iconic Jersey Shore pizzeria serving giant, cheap, cheesy slices. The park has some great small-scale rides, like bumper cars and a hand-painted merry-go-round, as well as an indoor arcade that’s loaded with games. Take the kids for a spin on the 90-foot Ferris wheel, and you’ll be rewarded with a spectacular view.
